Manchester United has expressed interest in acquiring Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The 23 years old has been performing exceptionally well in the Bundesliga. During the recent season, he scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions.
Arsenal and Newcastle United have also been monitoring his progress, but it is now revealed that Man United has entered the race to secure his transfer.
Manager Erik ten Hag is particularly interested in signing a left winger this summer, taking into account the inconsistent form of Jadon Sancho in the previous season.
Alejandro Garnacho has been a reliable backup for Marcus Rashford, but it seems that Ten Hag is seeking more experienced options.

Diaby is a potential target for United, but any transfer activity may be delayed due to ongoing takeover talks. Diaby is currently valued at £65 million.
The winger’s versatility would be a valuable asset for United as he is capable of playing effectively on either flank in the upcoming season.
Currently, the Red Devils are not actively engaging in transfer talks, and the potential move for Diaby could be heavily influenced by the possibility of a takeover in the near future.
The club’s main priorities for the summer transfer window are securing a marquee striker and a central midfielder. Any additional signings may be contingent on player sales.

However, if the Glazers agree to sell the club, this situation could drastically change. A new owner would likely provide increased financial support, potentially altering United’s approach to signings.
